Migrant crisis: Hundreds seek new route into Macedonia

Hundreds of migrants are heading towards a river on the Greece-Macedonia border, trying to find a way through the border fence.
They were seen leaving their camp in Idomeni, Greece, and are now walking to a river that separates the two nations.
Greek police later surrounded the group, but there were no reports of any clashes.
Some 14,000 people have been stranded at the camp, where conditions have deteriorated following days of rain. In other developments on Monday, Macedonian police say two men and one woman found drowned in the Suva river on Monday were migrants trying to enter the country from Greece
Macedonia last week said it would no longer let any migrants in, blocking the so-called Balkan route north.
